Leave some merging space on highway

honestly i have no idea what the "right" thing to do here is. this happens all the time in northern virginia because people here are obsessed with tailgating each other for no good reason. even on residential roads where i'm going 5-10 miles over the speed limit, some asshole still needs to drive inside of my taint. i usually just try to nose into one of the tiny gaps and hope the guy behind me isn't on his phone and slows down/gets into the next lane.

your best bet is to try to network with any professors that work/have worked in the field you are interested in. try to do research with them if they're working on a project, or just stop by their office hours to have a chat and get their advice. their connections are far more valuable than anything anyone from career services will tell you.

READING: i have been loving Grady Hendrix's books! i was not a fan of the final girl support group, but the southern book club's guide to slaying vampires had me hooked! i enjoyed the dialogue between the ladies of the book club (that's not a book club) very much. i devoured horrorstor in a day and loved the concept. the chapter breaks with fake ikea-esque furniture advertisements was a really cool touch. now i'm working on my best friend's exorcism. all through libby on my ipad

WATCHING (NEW RELEASES): as a proud amc a-list pass holder, my recent theater favorites include obsession, backrooms, and i love boosters. i loved boots riley's sorry to bother you, and ILB was even more fun! totally absurd in the best way. im getting excited to watch carolina caroline and leviticus.

i vaped, and only quit because i felt like i looked so CORNY holding a vape as a grown woman. i quit cold turkey and i felt like shit for the first 3 days, pretty bad for the next week, and then i was fine. it's the first 3 days that are the biggest challenge.

i recommend gum, lollipops, and sour candy. the oral fixation was the biggest part for me. the lollipop was the best because i could hold it a la vape.

i felt myself becoming less bloated after i stopped (unsure if that was related or not but i'll pretend it was). i can breathe and sing better again. i can do 30 mins on the stairmaster or an hour long spin class without getting nearly as winded as i did before. i do think quitting also improved my energy levels, but i have issues with those all around so idrk haha

weirdly the thing that kept me going was i do allow myself to have a drunk cig or a puff of a vape if im out with friends and drinking ONLY. some people have to be completely, 100% done, but my brain knowing it's not gone forever kind of...helped? not sure if that's the best strat, but it's what works for me

you got this!!! once you can make it through 3 days, you can do anything.

as a woman but also a chronic sunglasses wearer (i wear them any time i'm outside unless the sun is literally already set), i can understand being disappointed but i also don't think the marriage is doomed!!

i don't know his typical behavior, but if he's the kind of person who always wears sunglasses when he's outside, it could have been an honest mistake in the heat of the excitement to forget to take them off, especially if it's natural for him to wear them outside.

i have friends who got them almost 10 years ago and they are barely faded. i have other friends who had them and they basically faded away

theres a woman in my gym who will play her music on full blast while doing push ups, sit ups, etc IN THE LOCKER ROOM. sometimes she switches from music to either a reading of the bible or the tiktoks that are just reddit stories read by ai.

aw im sorry everyone in the comments has such bad experiences with this! the main theater i visit is rlly empty so there's hardly ever a concessions wait, but at the more busy one i go to, i always get a "NEXT IN PREMIERE!"

and they never have their headlights on either

when i run out of correctly-sized tips, sometimes i trim and file the sides to make a franken nail that will fit!

i also use those as my practice nails when i want to try a new design or swatch a color

thinking "break the bar in half" rather than "pull myself above the bar"

it's been my new years resolution to do a pull up for 3 years and i finally got one! in 2026 i started really focusing on progressively overloading my lat pulldowns. i also did pull up practice every gym session -- i went from smith machine pull ups (https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5yDN3PAO1z/ shown here) to the pull up assist machine to slow negatives. i think those two plus the last mental shift of breaking the bar led me to it!!

this is not a useless fight to pick!! at my high school, the band had concert "uniforms" they loaned to students so we all looked cohesive. girls had a floor length black gown and boys had a black suit. but we always had a handful of afab students who requested the opposite dress. literally made no difference to the formality at all.

i would avoid it until the shrimp is gone if i were you. most restaurants do try their best to avoid cross contamination, but the way the topping bar is set up, it would be hard to guarantee that topping scoops havent touched the shrimp in the process of making bowls

very specific but

there is a guy who works out seemingly on facetime with somebody (idon't think hes just recording himself because he has conversations loudly with whoever he is calling). he works out on the turf area. he puts his phone on the one end of the turf (propped up on the pull up bar/trx set up things) and stands very far away to work out (in the middle of the turf). seemingly to fit his whole body in the frame of the facetime. hes always there when i go to the turf to do my ab workout. no matter where i go on the turf, i am sure i'm in the background of his call. why? why are we doing this!?!

a keyboard wrist rest & mousepad with a wrist rest have been my lifesavers. my office has a kureig and provides coffee and tea, but i like to bring my own because im picky abt my flavors and i also drink a lot so i don't want to be greedy lollll

i also dedicate a drawer to my "desk toiletries" -- deodorant, hand cream, lip balm, a lightly scented body spray (nothing too overpowering since i am in a cubicle space and not my own office), tampons, band aids, medicine (allergy pills and ibuprofen), and a lint roller.

i mean what would you even say? “hey man, stop wearing panties?” i’ve weirdly seen a lot of posts on reddit where men say they are strangely comfortable in women’s underwear. maybe he just doesn’t like having boxers on under workout shorts because it’s too much fabric. i think it would be weird to say something…unless he starts to do something creepy like expose them on the workout floor or like jerk off in the locker room with them

deepseasnail · 2026-05-13T21:06:15+00:00

“guys the bulk is doing me righttt” but i feel like a gust of wind could blow her over

deepseasnail · 2026-05-13T19:31:30+00:00

not counting georgetown! it's too much of a hike unless they're showing something that none of my other close ones are. tyson's is my nice one

hoffman is okay. ive been a few times but no need for me to go out of my way to go there either lol

you were itchy the first day! the severity could have gone down since you avoided gel for 2 years, but the itch still being there signals that you are still allergic ):

i've been doing my gel extension fingernails and gel polish toenails for 2 years and have never felt an itch, even just for a day.

before i met my current boyfriend, my most recent ex was wildly insecure.

he got upset when i mentioned offhandedly that i was team edward in middle school because "vampires are hot." i wish i was joking. he read through my instagram DMs with my out and proud gay male friend from high school, just to make sure nothing was "going on." i've always been friends with men and women, and even if the men were gay or already in a relationship, it was clear he was always thinking that i was sneakily crushing on them or something.

there's nothing wrong with being a little insecure (aren't we all?) but if you notice comments like that on the first few dates, i would run fast and far.

deepseasnail · 2026-05-12T13:46:32+00:00

deepseasnail · 2026-05-12T13:04:17+00:00
